I know what you mean about characters kissing while people are in danger! I guess I could see a quick peck to steel themselves for heading into danger, but otherwise it just doesn't happen! But I think romance fics aren't usually bad because most authors see the truth about this. As for Romeo and Juliet, the message was supposed to be that romantic love conquers all, including death and I guess other kinds of love. It's what Shakespeare was saying, but I agree with you and disagree with him on the point of other kinds of love. I'd just say all kinds of love conquer everything else that isn't love. Yes.
